In the construction project, temporary work is work, which installed temporarily for of main structure and removed after its completion. Even though it a facility used demolished only during phase, accounts about 10% total cost. addition, an important directly connected to cost quality construction, so that completeness building depends on technology work. Therefore, necessary manage through sy...

In this paper we focus on a continuously deteriorating two units series equipment which its failure can not be measured by cost criterion. For these types of systems avoiding failure during the actual operation of the system is extremely important. In this paper we determine inspection periods and maintenance policy in such a way that failure probability is limited to a pre-specified value and ...

1 Introduction Inspections, a proven quality improvement approach [3, 7], are a process where a team of skilled individuals review a software artifact (e.g., requirements specification document) to identify faults. Traditional fault-based software inspections (like Fault Checklist inspection) focus inspectors' attention on different type of faults (e.g., incorrect or incomplete or ambiguous req...

This paper outlines two colour image processing and texture analysis techniques applied to meat images and assessment of error due to the use of JPEG compression at image capture. JPEG error analysis was performed by capturing TIFF and JPEG images, then calculating the RMS difference and applying a calibration between block boundary features and subjective visual JPEG scores. Both scores indica...

This paper evaluates the usage of analytical programming and different fitness functions for software effort estimation. Analytical programming and differential evolution generate regression functions. These functions are evaluated by the fitness function which is part of differential evolution. The differential evolution requires a proper fitness function for effective optimization. The proble...

Estimating treatment effects via propensity scores is a widespread method in the treatment evaluation literature. However, covariates are often measured with error, leading to biased propensity score estimates. Using validation data to correct for this measurement error is a persistent topic in the limited dependent variable context yet assuming the former to be a random subsample with respect ...

Templates are a language feature of C++ and can be used for metapro-gramming. The metaprogram is executed by the compiler and outputs source code which is then compiled. Templates are widely used in software libraries but few tools exist for programmers developing template code. In particular, error messages are often cryptic. During template instantiation, a compiler looks up names that depend...

Dog heart rate (HR) is characterized by a respiratory sinus arrhythmia, and therefore makes an automatic algorithm for error correction of HR measurements hard to apply. Here, we present a new method of error correction for HR data collected with the Polar system, including (1) visual inspection of the data, (2) a standardized way to decide with the aid of an algorithm whether or not a value is...

Error concealment methods have become very important in particular when transmitting video streams over error prone wireless links. Often a retransmission of corrupted sequences is not possible and thus the receiver has to make the best out of the received stream. The contributions of this article are the following: firstly, a performance comparison of various error concealment strategies (stra...

X-ray computed tomography (CT) offers significant potential as a metrological tool, given the wealth of internal and external data that can be captured, much of which is inaccessible to conventional optical and tactile coordinate measurement machines (CMM). Typical lab-based CT can take upwards of 30 min to produce a 3D model of an object, making it unsuitable for volume production inspection a...
